Swedish Master's programs offer you the unique opportunity to turn theory into practice,

challenge your perspectives, and acquire the innovation skills that make a competitive difference.

The competition “Challenge Your Perspectives” is your chance to show your skills within a number

of areas that distinguish Sweden:

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

Sweden has a long-standing reputation in conflict resolution - from Dag Hammarskjöld, former

Secretary General of the United Nations to Jan Eliasson, current Deputy U.N. Secretary-General,

Swedes have seen a long list of important international positions entrusted to their fellow citizens.

GLOBAL ECONOMICS

Sweden has a unique combination of generous welfare benefits and high-tech capitalism. The

country has, despite of its small size, a considerable impact on global business and has remained

strong in times of global financial crises. Entrepreneurship and innovation are in focus. Research

concerning the relationships between economic growth, human capital, and demographic factors

has a long tradition in Sweden.

ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

Sweden is on the front line in developing sustainable systems in many areas, such as energy and waste management. In recent years, Swedes – as individuals, as politicians and as entrepreneurs

– have become increasingly aware of their responsibility to care for the environment with future

generations in mind.
